Info for Mahler: Symphony No. 4 (Live)

With Gustav Mahler, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra has a very special relationship. The composer conducted the orchestra no less than 12 times and found in Amsterdam an understanding audience. Mahler's Fourth Symphony was premiered in Amsterdam by the composer, who conducted it twice, once before and once after the interval, so that the audience could get to know the work better. With this release, Mariss Jansons and the Concertgebouw orchestra add an impressive new chapter to the RCO’s recorded history of Mahler Symphonies.
"an assured and luminous performance" (Jenny Camilleri, Bachtrack)
"it's a miracle how Jansons manages to let Mahler sound like new everytime" (Erik Voermans, Het Parool)
"The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra might be thought to own this piece. Indeed, the expert playing and the symbiosis of the ensemble and its hall constitute the chief glories of this latest (edited) live recording on the orchestra s own label ... it s the subtler aspects, the perfect matching of instrumental entries and the sensual seamlessness of it all, which remains in the memory ... Daniele Gatti is fortunate indeed to be inheriting an orchestra in such fine fettle." (David Gutman Gramophone)
"If this new performances is not in the same league as some of its distinguished predecessors, it still does justice to this most modest and charming of Mahler Symphonies ... With Gustav Mahler, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra has a very special relationship. The composer conducted the orchestra no less than 12 times and found in Amsterdam an understanding audience. Mahler s Fourth Symphony was premiered in Amsterdam by the composer, who conducted it twice, once before and once after the interval, so that the audience could get to know the work better" (Barry Forshaw Classical CD Choice)
